CHICAGO ON ICE

"Chicago is probably the most successful experiment ever in group therapy."

Chicago is a city filled with dirty gray politicians, black leather policemen, and several varieties of cancerous looking trees instead of greenery. The pigeons vote. The rain gets cold in October, too.

Rock concerts can be a drag. Consider the Stadium — not merely content with being a cow palace, it’s an ice rink, and the Blackhawks kill hockey pucks there for 18,000 beer-crazed maniacs. On Friday nights, though, the Stadium becomes a concert hall, and in honor of the occasion the ice is covered with a wet red carpet and a thousand extra seats. Needless to say, Stadium seats are cold.
